Defend Secular Democracy in UK

Its all very well for us to support the establishment of a secular democracy in Iran but lets not forget that our new homes are also under threat from fundamentalists and extremists. We have all enjoyed the privileges of living in secular democracies after our exiles, its time we make sure history is not repeated and we stop extremist dogma right at its infancy.

Lets join the rally against the Al-Muhajiroun extremists at Piccadily Circus - 1 PM, 31 October 2009.

The demonstration has been called by secular Muslims, see the video below.

Shaaz Mahboob, vice-chair of British Muslims for Secular Democracy says:

“Our counter-demonstration is based on our belief in, and commitment to, those liberal values that define the British state, including legal and constitutional equality for all, equal rights for women and minorities, and religious freedom, including the right to be free of faith”

Secular democracy needs no defense in the UK. No, it's really about bigots who need something to do.
